Funny enough, I was just working on adding an example to documentation which shows how to create an EC2 node using a custom AMI.
You can find it at https://ci.apache.org/projects/libcloud/docs/compute/examples.html#create-ec2-node-using-a-custom-ami This one doesn't show how to use an existing key pair and security group, but you can do that by passing ex_keyname='name_of_existing_key_pair' and ex_securitygroup='security group name' keyword arguments to the create_node method.
