as long as you are flying on a LAN flight number you should be ok, even if on aeromexico metal, since LAN is part of one world.
As per aa.com, Q class intl fares within South America only get 25% of miles and 0.50 EQPs so I believe no different to DL (unless you are trying to qualify through points):

mileage may not accrue on flights operated by carriers other than oneworld carriers.
Since the flight is operated by AM which is not a OW carrier I would say that the OP will not earn any AA miles .

So, should I credit to DL? Thanks for any advice. I am afraid if I call AA I will get different responses to my question based on the agent's knowledge.

When I flew LAN in May, MIA-EZE-SCL-MIA I received my AA miles minus 500 miles per segment. So only 220 miles for the SCL-EZE segment.
I fly to South America often and LAN is my favorite BY FAR!!

If one flies LAN as LAN (or a oneworld codeshare) one earns as per the airline showing on the ticket. Flying on a non-oneworld airline (such as Aeromxico) one is not likely, IMO, to earn AAdvantage miles on a LAN codeshare operated by that airline.
I would definitely take the "Qualifying miles, points and segments count toward AAdvantage Executive Platinum, AAdvantage Platinum, and AAdvantage Gold status and bonuses. To attain AAdvantage elite status, a member must fly on at least four American Airlines or American Eagle flights within the qualifying year. Flight mileage may not accrue on flights operated by carriers other than oneworld carriers" as will not, rather than a statement of possibility.
Unlike JL, where it is clearly stated:
Codeshare Flights
Flying SN as IB meant no AA miles for me, ditto similar situations.

Codeshare Flights
- JAL codeshare flights operated by oneworld carriers and oneworld affiliates are eligible for mileage accrual.
- JAL codeshare flights operated by any other carrier, in any fare class are also eligible for mileage accrual.
