It's not clear to me what you are trying to do here: is you target force
field one with Amoeba-like terms, or is it a standard (fixed charge,
atom-based monopoles) force field like amber99.prm itself?
The tinker_to_amber program is solely devoted to converting Amoeba force
field descriptions into an Amber-compatible format. In spite of its
name, it is not a general-purpose way to convert tinker files to Amber.

It might be doable, but I wonder if it is not better to consider
creating mol2 and frcmod files by hand for your metal cluster and
ligands. One advantage would be to advance beyond Amber's f99
forcefield, which is really quite poor by modern standards.
If you do have polarizabilities and multipoles, you might also consider
using tinker itself or openMM for the simulation: neither of these
options requires a conversion to Amber formats.

Look in $AMBERHOME/AmberTools/etc.
...good luck....dac
