With 3390-27, obviously you could combine the RES and HFS, and most of the
DLB.

Well, It really depends on products you have. I use 1 RES and 1 DLB. Dot. RES includes root HFS, both volumes have 20% free space, despite all the libraries were overallocated (25 directory, 20-30% primary space).
As we can see - YMMV. <g>

BTW: I would include more volumes into the bill. You need operational datasets (ICF BCSes, JES spool and chkpt,, SMF, logrec, couple ds, etc.). In fact it's more important than DLB - you can run without DLB, you cannot without operational DSes.

Are you sure you can't run without a DLIB volume? I haven't done a servpac lately but since day 1 (of MVS) you did not need a dlib volume available. In fact the only reason you should need one is for SMP/e work.
