This will help you:
Air Canada is in Terminal 2 and they've snazzed it up quite a bit. Nicer facilities, washrooms, and restaurants. It isn't as awful as it used to be.
United is literally on the opposite side of Air Canada. United occupies both Terminals 7 and 8.
When you arrive at Terminal 2, go downstairs to the baggage claim (your baggage will be transferred for you) so go outside to the shuttle buses. You want to take Shuttle Bus "A" as that is the free LAX inter-terminal transfer bus. That or you can take the shuttle bus to the car rental place of your choice and go out to enjoy your 7 hours in LA.
You "could" walk to the other terminal but it kind of sucks and you can easily get lost. Clearing the security lines at United Terminal 7 and 8 is ghetto as fuck so yes, I suggest leaving at least 1.5 hours to be on the safe side. If you're lucky, they will have 2 lines open. It's some third-world shit they operate over there.
