Any way you want to construct your non-overlapping non-solvent non-ion 
molecules is fine. Previous EM of each is wise, but not necessarily 
required - vacuo EM is probably fine. Then solvate, then use genion, 
then EM the whole system. Copying ions from earlier calculations is a 
good way to generate atomic clashes, which is a high price to pay for 
randomly-placed ions that are different from those generated as above.
