Correlation functions of what? Bond vectors? I can't imagine any
measurements you would make in which Langevin dynamics targeted to a subset
of the atoms would not impact their correlation functions.

Why not just run NVE? For a properly equilibrated simulation it should be
equivalent to an NVT ensemble as long as the settings were optimized for
good energy conservation (constraint tolerance, etc.). The upside is that
you can compute temporal properties from an NVE simulation (which seems
like it may be of interest to you).
Good luck,
Jason
