There is no good way to do this easily. The CHARMM atom types are different
than those for Amber, so you would have to manually identify the correct
correspondence. Then, bond force constants might be transferable, and angles
too, if CHARMM is not using a Urey-Bradley term.
Dihedral parameters from CHARMM will not be of much help (maybe in a very
qualitative sense): these are tightly coupled to electrostatics and LJ
parameters, which generally will be quite different in CHARMM and Amber. This
in turn, implies that the dihedral parameters should be different as well.
