afaik connected to each own FCC, if a FCC in one side fails, then the FCC in the other side can't access AoA data from the failed side. If an AoA sensor fails, then it need algorithms for identifying the faulted sensor, isolate it, and and likely also an EICAS display to convey this information to the pilots.
Why? The revised MCAS logic uses both AoA inputs (and IIRC, will be updated with a synthetic AoA calculation at some future point) and they didn't need change the basic architecture for the update.
