[Antennas] dipole question

hello all,
After pondering my property, there *may* be an option for a dipole or g5rv. My property map can be seen (if anyone is interested) at

Here's my idea. From the shack (X), run the feedline up to the chimney(C). Then, one leg of the dipole would go to tree #2 (about 138', or 102' plus 36' of rope), then the other leg would go to tree #3 (about 110', or 102' plus 8' of rope). The two trees are 128' apart.
This would form a flat-top V where the arrow points west and the opening of the V would point east.
Question:
This is certainly an acute angle between the legs. Can anyone tell me what the effect of this would be? Would I have gain either east or west? Would I lose anything north or south ? Would the two legs of the antenna compete against one another or have any adverse effects?
Does anyone have software that they could generate a plot for me of this?
Thanks!!!
Eugene
