When I build bigger science ships I usually put the Gravitational sensors on the ship and Geological sensors on small 500 ton shuttles.
If you want to keep the harvester module then create a station with it and keep it in a hangar instead. Now you can go to a gas giant and deploy the harvester and go off and survey the system.
