psfgen will ignore the residue, if it is not there.
so you could load the original .pdb file and then type
in the vmd console:
set sel [atomselect top "resname not MOL"]
$sel writepdb part.pdb
and then try using psfgen for the part.pdb file.
of course that does not generate anything in the .psf
file for the non-standard residue. if you need that,
things can become a little bit more difficult.
cheers,
axel.
