The Google-specific components aren't part of Android. All of Android is currently open-source, though admittedly the exact boundary is not clearly defined (but generally if something isn't open-source it's not part of Android, it's an add-on provided by some external entity).
You can download snapshots of the various subprojects within Android. Head to http://android.git.kernel.org/ and click on any of the project names. You're probably looking for platform/frameworks. From there, scroll down to the "heads" section on the page, click "shortlog" for the release you want (e.g. release-1.0 will give you something that's close to what's currently shipping), and on the first line of the log (that has the name of the release on a green background) select the "snapshot" link. You can also browse the source tree online by clicking the "tree" button instead of "snapshot".
