I don't know that it's possible. In the Amber manual, I see the sentence:
The Particle Mesh Ewald (PME) method is always "on", unless ntb = 0. PME is
a fast
implementation of the Ewald summation method for calculating the full
electrostatic energy
of a unit cell (periodic box) in a macroscopic lattice of repeating images.
This suggests to me that it's impossible to set ntb=1 (so the minimum image
convention is used) without using PME (or IPS).
You could _try_ setting ntb=0 and eedmeth=4, which will use the ewald code
to do the electrostatic calculation (but will only do the direct space
sum), but I don't know if that would image for you. You could test it to
see if the energies produced using an imaged snapshot match those using an
un-imaged snapshot...
