1hr 20min time between flights.

Is this too risky? (I can definitely change the UA flight to a later one if I miss my original flight.)

However...if everything goes perfectly on time, can I make the connection in under 1 hour of walking, running, etc?
Not familiar with LAX.
Are you checking luggage? I have yet to receive checked bags from AA at LAX sooner than 30 minutes after my flights arrived at the gate. In that case, you also need to factor in the time that it takes get to T7, 10 - 15 minutes, check the bags at UA and clear security there. That would make a 1:20 connection rather tight.

If you have only carry on luggage, I fully agree with IceTrojan.
