In fact, it's quite easy with tpbconv.  From tpbconv -h:

"3. by creating a .tpx file for a subset of your original tpx file, which is
useful when you want to remove the solvent from your .tpx file, or when you
want to make e.g. a pure Calpha .tpx file. Note that you may need to use
-nsteps -1 (or similar) to get this to work. WARNING: this .tpx file is not
fully functional."
