Annoying about the transit bus.
Transit would only be 2 hours so contemplating a rental car now for the vistas and ease, haha
In AU now?
IMHO 2hrs is no where enough time.
You will need to collect bags from VA, then go to T1 (train-taxi), check-in, security and emigration.
Check in will close X minutes before scheduled departure. So you will not have 120 minutes.
With the AU Govt CV19 departure checks to ensure you have authority to leave AU, need more time at check in than say in 2019

IMHO buy another ticket, with a lot more time, even if that mean throwing away the VA ticket you have. Sobeit
Looks like DL40 leave at 09:55. So go to Sydney the night before. Then get to T1 at 07:00
Or be prepared to no show DL SYD-LAX
