He has a Fuji XE1 which has a 'sensor' shaker for cleaning and no LPF.
But he may be considering a D800E instead of his D3.
As Robert says the LPF does a number of things but I guess that the IR and UV filtering is now being performed by another filter in the stack.
All they have done is remove the anti-more effect by removing the interference filter component that reduced the image sharpness.
There is also the Bayer filter that sits directly above the sensor.
See here for the current design.

This diagram shows it very well.
