So it seems that in some worlds, the Crimson will automatically replace the Corruption. Luckily/Unluckily for me, I seem to have only the Crimson in my world, and no Corruption.
That said, how do I get rid of the Crimson stone blocks to get to the Crimson Hearts scattered around the map? I know that for the Corruption, you would need Purification Powder to do so, but to re-add it back in, you would need Vile Powder. Does the same hold true for the Crimson? Or is there some other way I must go to break through Crimson rock?

Although this is not the most accessible way to do it, the easiest way is to use the Clentaminator with Green Solution.
The more accessible ways are to use the Purification Powder from a Dryad, bomb the Crimson with anything that breaks blocks when it explodes or mine it with a pickaxe (power 65% or higher, or in terms of tools: nightmare/deathbringer pickaxe or better).
