Hello and welcome to Android Forums, Shane!

You should definitely ask the Warp owners in Warp - All Things Root - Android Forums about the bloatware. As I am sure you are well aware, many apps provide services for other parts of the OS and if you remove them, you can disable certain features or make your phone unusable. More importantly, system apps are not easily restorable like simply installing an .apk file. And once deleted, even a factory reset will not recover them. You will have to locate and flash a stock rom image to get them back.

Usually the safer way to proceed is to freeze the apps with Titatium and then you will know if stopping them breaks anything. I'd keep them frozen for a couple of weeks before actually removing anything. Make sure you make a full nandroid backup before removing apps, too.
