The problem with having multiple angels in a smaller tank is that once they mature, the are likely to pair off and try to spawn. Once that happens, the two that have formed the pair can become very protective of their eggs, and harass any others that get close. A 35g tank isn't exactly
small, but in my opinion it's not large enough for an adult mating pair and others.
You might be able to get away with having 3-4 juveniles, if you're willing to keep only the first pair that forms and return the "extras" to the store. That's actually what I'm doing, only with a slightly larger pool of juveniles.

Two angels might also fight, so it's a tough call to make. Like most cichlids, some angels are passive and some are aggressive. If you only buy two, but wind up with two aggressive ones that are either of the same sex or just don't pair off for whatever reason, they'd likely harass each other frequently.
It might work, but it also might not.
