Wouldn’t the Amazon rainforest - the rainfall, not the river per se - still exist without the Andes? Maybe a little less wet in the western part though without the orographic effect. And I remember reading actually that the Amazon did in fact pre-date the Andes but it flowed into the Pacific instead.
