I'd say if you leave the E lounge 45min before departure from an A Gate you should be fine. More if you want to board early
I wonder how many people will take the trek to E (and fill the lounges there even more - especially the FTL/C side in E is very full already in peak hours)
It really depends a lot in the time of day how full the lounges in E are.
I usually aim to leave the lounge in E 40 minutes before boarding of an A departure and actually leave about 25-30 minutes before boarding. It has always worked.
