Yes, you can, as well as you can without JES. On the other hand, if a system mainly runs CICS, removing CICS would render it useless. Is CICS therefor part of the OS? I think it is useless to try to find a watertight definition of an OS. How should we interprete the question: what part of z/OS is OS, so: what part is 'z'? z/OS *is* the OS.
