When it comes to the paleoclimate of current subtropical/tropical regions during glacial maxima, the question is how the 120 meter lower sea levels impacted the local hydrology. If the endemic species continued throughout one or more glacial maxima (e.g. gorillas, chimps, bonobos in the Congo basin, orangutans on Borneo/Sumatra) then the adapted ecosystem probably remained constant. The climate history of Sri Lanka should be well documented. My intuition is that tropical rainforest is a fine assumption.
