On my system, the default big cron jobs are automatically ignored by cron if anacron is install. Here is part of my /etc/crontab: 25 6 * * * root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily 47 6 * * 7 root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly 52 6 1 * * root test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly So don't remove cron.
