That's what I needed to hear! According to the topology the atom is
perfectly fine.
Thanks a lot,

As far as being written as C instead CL in the pdb, you could likely just use sed to find and replace these into CL so VMD treats them properly (a similar problem happens if you use OPLS and have calcium ions (name CA) vmd thinks they are all alpha-carbons).
