What would you do if we said it wasn't enough time? You've booked a separate (note NOT connection) flight for a couple of hours after arrival in the US. If you miss it you will have to shell out for a new ticket unless Delta takes pity on you
If all goes well and the flight isn't late, you don't get stuck in immigration, you don't have to wait to collect luggage, US customs decides not to take an interest in you then you have a reasonable chance of making the flight

I'm in kind of the same boat except I haven't actually booked the ticket yet!
Looking at AUA-MIA arriving 1205 then MIA-ORD 1355.
After reading a few threads on MIA customs/immigration I think I'll play it safe with a longer connection, just in case.
