The \time commands results in four property settings:
'timeSignatureFraction
'beatLength 
'measureLength
'beatGrouping
If you set those manually instead, but leave 'timeSignatureFraction untouched, 
then I think no time signature is created.

One way to figure out the values, could be to comment out the expression 
starting with:
(define-extra-display-method ContextSpeccedMusic (expr)
in
scm/define-music-display-methods.scm
and then compile a file containing:
\displayLilyMusic { \time 3/4  c }
