Joe:
FAR 91.205(d) spells out the legal requirements for instruments for IFR
flight. Legally, all you need is a "navigational instrument for the ground
facility to be used." So, technically if all you are going to do is fly VOR airways
and shoot a VOR non-precision approach, all you need is one VOR, period. Of
course, this is not the wisest way to fly IFR, and I would not recommend it.
In your case if you have an IFR certified GPS/moving map that you are
comfortable with to use for GPS approaches and as a supplement for VOR and ILS
approaches, a VOR with VOR/ILS capability is legal and should be adequate. All you
would be missing is ADF, but unless you are using a field that has that an NDB
approach, you can do without it.
