Without the availability of a co-curable aramid based pre-preg, you would need to laminate the aramid as a separate stage. Once the pre-preg has cured, if you haven't peel ply'd the bonding area, give it a good key with 120 grit paper then wet lay laminate the kevlar into place.  I would recommend choosing a resin suitable for your intended service temperature and then carry out a full post cure on it before moving on to the assembly of the sandwich panel.

If the kevlar is the very light 60g dry fabric (without resin) then this would be light enough to just place against the a layer of pre preg carbon and there is very likely enough resin there to wet that out too.
