[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 
http://www.hertzmail.com/house/house.pdf 
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
