"As I recall" (which means you still need to look it up in the ROHN book) 
the anchor comes out at 45 degrees and is far enough from the tower to point 
between the the top two guy sets.

120 feet on an 80 foot lot?  You must not have neighbors, or no setback 
rules. Even with 4 point guying you need the anchors much farther out than 
you can get them for a 120 foot tower on an 80 foot lot.  At a120 feet I'd 
say you need 100 feet from the tower for each guy anchor.  You can get by 
with a bit less, but that 120 feet on an 80 foot lot scares me.
