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.
