So I've only skimmed the Google Cloud Engine docs, but this would be
how you could do this with virt-builder ...

  $ virt-builder fedora-20 --output disk.raw --size 10G \
      --install bash-completion,denyhosts,irqbalance,ntp,patch,rsyslog,yum-cron-daily \
      --hostname metadata.google.internal \
      --write '/etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
169.254.169.254 metadata.google.internal metadata
' \

# use --write or --upload for the other files

      --delete /etc/sysconfig/networking \
      --edit '/etc/ntp.conf:
                   /^server [1-3]\.fedora.*$/d' \
      --run-command 'systemctl disable firewalld.service iptables.service' \

# (I got bored, there are more commands ...)

  $ tar zcf fedora-20.tar.gz disk.raw

No root needed!

Rich.
