I do similar work on TVCs, I generally do the same thing Roei said - = make a clean plate, sometimes in PS with content aware fill, then track = it back in.  There is no shortcut in AE.
However if you do a lot of this then check out Mocha Pro - I=E2=80=99m = fairly sure it has tools to automatically make clean plates.  The = tracking is faster, better and friendlier than within AE.

It could be that the tool you=E2=80=99re looking for is not = content-aware fill in AE, but simply an upgrade to Mocha Pro.
