Default [Q] Not wanting to sync google contacts

I just got my View and set it up similiar to my Evo Shift with three email accounts..two exchange and one gmail. On the Shift I was able to select which Google components to sync (mail, contacts, calendar). Since I have almost 1000 contacts in one Exchange account I want that to be the only one I sync. I only use Google as a backup for contacts and don't use the calandra. I only need to sync mail. It appears that the View doesn't give me a option to select or unselect which Google components I want to sync and automatically sync'd the Google Contacts and mail and calendar. What did I miss? Anyone else notice this?

Root and delete the google contact sync adaptor apk (I think that's the name...it's been a while since I deleted it). You can also delete the google calendar sync adaptor apk and that will remove the sync options.

The instructions above give you the server settings to just set gmail up as an IMAP server in an email client. I am not sure how exactly it works on the view, but you should be able to set up these server settings manually in the mail client.
