Did you know: you can fully sign out of Google on your phone and still use it? You can download an alt app store like F-Droid for most apps, or use APKeep from EFF to get those certain app installers. Or Aurora store, but I'm less familiar with that, and assume it's the same principle as APKeep. I also recommend NetGuard to individually handle what apps are allowed to use internet access.
Either way, you may not be able to fully remove Google from Android without a custom ROM, but there's still a lot you can do.
