If I understand your question correctly, the usual way to prepare a "V1"
state where there is no coupling between the ligand and the environment is
simply to leave the ligand out when making the prmtop file. The TI
implementation in sander does not require the same number of atoms in the two
end states.
Please see tutorial A9 for a worked-out example.
