There have been a few studies that show aerobic exercise burns off abdominal fat. A new one indicates that people with better cardiorespiratory fitness (which you can increase with aerobic exercise) have less abdominal fat than people of the same body size with less cardio fitness. The importance of this is more for your health than your 6-pack, as abdominal fat is associated with a higher risk of heart disease. This doesn`t let you off the hook as far as those crunches go, as strong abs are still important to both fitness and appearance, but it does indicate that you should be sure to do some cardio exercise as well.
