Is there any risk taken by unistalling the Google apps in the image, will other Google services stop working? Or it's cool to go do unistall them, as I never use them and find them extremely useless

No risk, you can uninstall them
Google Services looks for the Google app if you want to change some settings on your phone specifically linked to your Google account. The Google app is also necessary if you use Google Assistant or use Google for voice unlock or use hands free features in Google apps like Maps. I disable Gmail, Google Music, Google Video, Google Hangouts and other Google stuff I don't use or need but I wouldn't recommend touching the actual Google App unless you were planning on getting rid of all your Google apps and services.

SNS and SNSAccount are used to sync/backup/restore/fetch your contacts (and calendar) from your SNS accounts (e.g. google).
Do not freeze them if some of your contacts are saved to your google account, or if you use another SNS app (facebook, twitter, google, samsung, viber, whatsapp, etc)). The same goes for Google Contacts Sync and Google Calendar Sync.
Also, I wouldn't freeze DRM. Judging by its name, it's used to authorize applications that use DRM.
Lastly, this doesn't belong here. It's not even Ace related.

Thanks.
I guess you are right you can put this everywhere. :S But yea I do this on my ace phone that is why it is here I mean why not many people only search their phone and don't look at general things.
I like the phone very much but i'm afraid that google services might not run well. Is it only a matter of installing some apk's? Because i want play store,google contacts etc. synced flawlessly. What is your experience with the phone?
Working everything flawless. See how-to here or at zukfans.eu

Google Plays Services has problems on the original ROM. You can use without any problems contacts, play store and also sync but you'll get problems using Google Smart Lock for example.
You just have to install this 3 apks in this order, Google Contacts Sync, Google Contacts and Google Play Store. Don't forget to install Google Play Services if you need it.
Here's what you need.
You can DL Google Services straight from the Zuk Store.
Hi , i have done it but the google store doesn't connect! error!

There are several possible reasons. You don't have a Google Pixel phone or Google Home. I read there was a limited release in Allo app too. Try saying "ok Google." Does your phone respond? If so, you're all set.
I would like to remove as much unrequired google apps as possible before I start to use the phone.
I have installed TWRP and now Termux.
I was wondering if anyone could help with which are the best/safest apps to remove and any suggestions for a preferred (possibly FOSS) replacement.
So far I have removed
Android System Webview
Chrome
Gboard
Facebook App Manager
Google Play Music
YouTube
Google Play Movies
And replaced some of them with Bromite System Webview, Bromite, AnySoftKeyboard, Newpipe.
I am thinking of removing, but not sure if all safe, or what to replace them with:
Gmail
Google Contacts
Google Sync Contacts
Calculator
Calendar
Clock
Google Text To Speech
Lens
Maps
Are there any I shouldn't remove, are there more that I should, are any of the moto apps okay to remove?
And any suggestions for what to replace them with?
I hadn't heard of fossdroid.com or fsfe.org when I posted here, and reading over some other post on other forums I debloated quite a lot and replaced them with many of the alternatives on f-droid and fossdroid.
How is the debloating going?
