CyanogenMod is basically a stock Android without any of the Google apps, services or frameworks. You can always install a very minimal version of the GApps later if you really need them. Look for a Nano or Pico version. I can't remember which is the smaller of the two, but it basically just comes with Play Store and the Framework to make it work.
