Is it possible to install and run chrome headless on a headless Linux box without installing the audio and xorg dependencies?
If not, then is there a special headless build of chrome/chromium which doesn't pull xorg and audio libs?

You can run Google Chrome in headless mode simply by setting the headless property of the chromeOptions object to True. Or, you can use the add_argument() method of the chromeOptions object to add the –headless command-line argument to run Google Chrome in headless mode using the Selenium Chrome web driver.
As we have already seen, you just have to add the flag –headless when you launch the browser to be in headless mode. With CLI (Command Line Interface), just write: chrome \<br> – headless \ # Runs Chrome in headless mode. <br> – disable-gpu \ # Temporarily needed if running on Windows.
Running Puppeteer on AWS EC2 instance running Amazon-Linux Now Puppeteer can launch Chromium to run your tests. If you do not enable EPEL and if you continue installing chromium as part of npm install , Puppeteer cannot launch Chromium due to unavailablity of libatk-1.0. so. 0 and many more packages.
Browserless is a web-service that allows for remote programs to connect, pilot, and execute headless browser tasks — all inside of docker. It offers first-class integrations for puppeteer, playwright, selenium's webdriver, and a slew of handy REST APIs as well.
This troubleshooting doc on puppeteer should be of some help (https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md), it oultlines all the package necessary for running Chrome on a linux machine (more specifically for web servers).
Depending on your end-goal, I wrote a service that provides access to headless Chrome at https://browserless.io. More or less treats Chrome in hosted fashion, so you don't have to try and get it running yourself, which is a time consuming process.
In any case, hope one of those helps!
