I'm not sure why one would want to do this. The same arguments that lead
to the use of PBC for explicitly solvated MM calculations apply with equal
force for QM/MM simulations.
You *can* get rid of box information by setting IFBOX=0 in the prmtop
header, and setting ntb=0 in your sander input file. But then the MM
energies will be quite different, and you will no longer be "equilibrated"
(to whateer extent you were before embarking on QM/MM.)
If you are convinced that you need a non-PBC environment for QM/MM, I'd
recommend doing the MM part the same way.
