I am not sure if I understood it correct. Do you just want to create a
.pdb file for visualization purposes or to create inpcrd/prmtop files
which does not have any hydrogens but polar ones? If you want to create
inpcrd/prmtop for doing MD simulations, you have to have all the hydrogens
present. If you just want to remove the hydrogens, you can write an awk
script or perl script to do that. awk will be easier than perl for this
purpose.
