Hi Paul,

Yes, you could use remove in tleap - you'd still need to read in a pdb (with
all waters) with loadpdb though. (Also carefully check if the residue number
of the water you want to delete is the same in tleap as it is from your
script)
Yes, just make sure you load all necessary parameters/topology.
For using TIP4P for you WAT molecules, see section 2.11 in the Amber Tools
manual.

Note that you can pass a script to tleap that does all you need, so you can
script the whole thing - i.e. take the water residue number you got from
your existing script and using that in your tleap script.

Good luck,
Marc
