Hmmm be careful here, block paved driveways are laid on a compacted bed of sand, on top of compacted hardcore. Digging it up can lead to subsidence in the adjacent blocks and general dips developing if the hardcore is not kept well compacted. Also block paving depends on interlock between the blocks to maintain strength, so you will need to be careful refitting the blocks correctly with no gaps and brush sand into the joints to maintain integrity... Sorry if you know all this, but wanted to give a heads up because it would be a shame to ruin the drive installing your anchor.
One other thing, as the anchor is being placed into hardcore/sand/blocks it may not be as solid as one placed into a tarmac or concrete drive... I guess that can be solved by increasing the size of the concrete block you cast for the anchor to sit in, but this exacerbates the problems mentioned above...
