If I have an IFR-certified GPS (terminal, not just enroute), is there any

There is no legal reason to keep those devices.

However, if you have them, they will certainly aid in situational
awareness.

Thanks, Peter,

I hadn't considering legality, but thanks for that point.

I was assuming the Garmin 430/530/480 to be the GPS unit(s), so I wouldn't
think SA could be improved by keeping the DME or ADF.
