I am a little fuzzy on exactly what you are asking. But I will put it this way. All counts that card counters use to identify house advantage for the next round are an approximation or estimate.
As for aces, the most important card because of the 150% blackjack payout, it is worth a lot, which is why many players side counters separately.
If I have misunderstood your question, try to clarify and will try to answer later when I get home if no one else has given a satisfactory answer by then.
