you'll notice in Southern Pine.com span table, there is no line for 2x4's. That said, the calculations for the load capacity is fairly trivial. Any engineer should be able to figure it out.

is the LVL load bearing? hard to tell

It is an exterior wall so I suppose, but there is not a second floor above that wall. If you look at the first 3 pictures I include the entire wall, but in the remodel pictures I was trying to make them less cluttered so I left it out.


The downstairs height is 12 feet and the upstairs height is 9 feet. So it is basically a 21 foot exterior wall straight up to the roof. I am pretty sure there is a top plate in the middle that breaks up the wall.
