AMP Pages need to be exactly similar to the main page?

There's actually no such thing as 'exactly similar'. If something was 'exactly similar' to something else, you would instead describe it as 'the same'. Similar means close to the same, but different. Some degree of difference is implied! I'd try to work the pages to be as similar as possible, but if the URLs weren't exactly 'the same' I wouldn't be super worried.

Another thing, are you confusing AMP with having a mobile site, or a mobile responsive site? AMP is usually separate to your mobile site:

1. Desktop site: loads for desktop / laptop users

2. Mobile site: may use the same URLs as your desktop site and load the same content, but responsive styling makes the content suitable for a mobile display. For some older sites they might have separate mobile URLs, but this is generally frowned upon for modern SEO (e.g: ancient "m." subdomain sites)

3. AMP pages (not a site): versions of your normal web pages, which are stripped down and load really fast. Most mobile users in the first world will not see these very often, but if they're in an area with terrible signal / speeds the AMP page can load instead of the regular mobile page. Situational URLs for users whom have permanent or temporary bandwidth issues

So it's the mobile site's pages and the AMP pages (#2 and #3) which should be similar. You should not be making #1 and #3 similar, it wouldn't make any sense to do that. I guess some desktop users might see AMP URLs from time to time, but I'd have thought that AMP takes over from mobile 99% more often
