Removing the grub packages doesn't remove GRUB from your hard drive(s).
Thankfully.

It should be, as far as I know.  I'm not sure whether this will prompt
you for where to install GRUB, or whether it will retain knowledge of
this from the config files which you say haven't been purged yet.

It'll probably regenerate the grub.cfg menu, though.  If you haven't done
anything too silly, that shouldn't be an issue.
