Hello guys and gals. After spending hours trying to figure out what I could delete from the system to make room for Gapps on CM10, I even tried to resize partitions, I came to the conclusion that the Gapps will have to be stored elsewhere. So, I came up with a solution, by installing the apps to /data/Gapps and then symlinking the files to /system, and it worked. So since there are so many people trying to get Goggle Now on CM9, I figured I would make modified Gapps zips for both CM9 and CM10.
I need some feedback on this, but I did flash it and everything seems to be working. I'm sure this will help a bunch of other devices that have smaller system partitions also.
I don't think Google should have any issues with this as I haven't changed any files that where in the zip just moved them around and modified the updater-script.
Symlinked Gapps for ICS:
Right now, after install it uses 23.3MB and the bulk of the files are installed to /data/Gapps
I was able to install Google Now offline and then these gapps and have 8 MB free.

Symlinked Gapps for JB:
Right now, after install it frees up 0.1 MB and the bulk of the files are installed to /data/Gapps
