Not sure why you’d want to…  but “With Lilypond, all things are possible.”  =)

Here’s one solution:

\layout { indent = 1\in ragged-right = ##t }

\relative c' {
  \omit Staff.SystemStartBar
  \override Staff.TimeSignature.extra-offset = #'(-4 . 0)
  \override Staff.TimeSignature.X-extent = #empty-interval
  \override Staff.Clef.extra-offset = #'(-8 . 0)
  \override Staff.Clef.X-extent = #empty-interval
  c''4
}

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
