Answer

Since the (gs) runs the newer Apache 2, mod_gzip has been replaced by the more flexible and configurable mod_deflate.

 
This essentially means that if you are seeking to find a way to disable mod_gzip for any reason, you actually don't need to do anything since we are not using it at all.

Should you be experiencing 500 'Internal Server Error', it could possibly be due to code that you are using which relies on the mod_gzip module to be present.
