I’d go ahead and delete this if I could.
I created a multi template like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0";
amzn_assoc_search_bar = "false";
amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "%TAG%";
amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual";
amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart";
amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon";
amzn_assoc_region = "US";
amzn_assoc_title = "My Amazon Picks";
amzn_assoc_linkid = "80e86bf226e6889b5bea4e1ed65d556d";
amzn_assoc_asins = "%ASINS%";
</script>
<script src="//z-%REGION%.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/onejs?MarketPlace=%MPLACE%"></script>
Then blocked out a couple things the client doesn’t want, using CSS.
You can put multiple ASIN’s in a shortcode and the plugin will automatically create two instances of the template.

I also did an extra plugin that allowed you to embed one template inside another one, so you could do a container template then inside expand several smaller templates. This was to create a ‘slider/carousel’ affect.
Based on jcarousel. So the container template was something like:
Name: Slider
Type: Multi
Content:
<div class="slider_container">
<div>%TEXT%</div>
<div class="jcarousel">
<ul>
%T_SLIDER_ITEM%
</ul>
</div>
<a href="#" class="jcarousel-control-prev">
‹
</a>
<a href="#" class="jcarousel-control-next">
›
</a>
</div>
Then it contains the Slider Item:
Name: Slider Item
Type: Product
Content:
<li class="al_found%FOUND%">
<div class="slider_img">
%LINK_OPEN%<img alt="%TITLE%" title="%TITLE%" src="%THUMB%" class="slider_img">%LINK_CLOSE%
</div>
<div style="font-size:80%">
<b>%ARTIST%</b></br>
%TITLE%</bR>
%RATING_LINK%</br>
%LINK_OPEN%<img src="%BUY_BUTTON%">%LINK_CLOSE%
</div>
</li>
