For the standard Amber force fields, the C4 and C5 atom types are not used
in proteins, only in nucleic acids. But you are correct: if you wanted to
use run a protein-RNA simulation with both the ildn protein modifcations
and the OL chi torsions, you would have to do some work to avoid naming
conflicts.
