Sounds like you need to think about manually editing the file, and/or writing
your own script. If there is not a 1->1 mapping between the atom names you
have and those you want, this would be a fairly unusual situation: you must
either have 2 or more names in your file that should be mapped to one in
Amber/IUPAC (the AtomMap function could do this), or you have a common name in
your file that should be split (depending on environment?) into two names for
the Amber/IUPAC conventions. [Offhand, that suggests a badly-constructed PDB
file.]

Maybe you could use AtomMap to do 95% of the conversion, and tackle the rest
by hand.
