AOSP doesn't requires changes in kernel
Since we have a kernel made from ASUS for 4.3, 4.4 and 5.0, any AOSP ROM from these Android version will work with stock kernel and locked bootloader.

can i install ASOP from orginal recovery with locked bootloader?

You can install AOSP from fastboot, since it's an img file. But you have to unlock bootloader to install GApps via TWRP.
After flash all you need, you can flash stock recovery back and lock the bootloader.
