Barest minimum:

LSI-11
16kram (or a partial populated card of 4k)
SLU (dl equivilent)

Additional items:

FDC interface for H27 (the Heath Floppy interface has a BOOT rom)
Second serial (usually printer in DEC systems)
Parallel for Heath punch reader.

A terminator is NOT required for LSI-11
nor a BDV(boot card) as uODT allwos for boot code if needed
by hand entry.
