You mean the key signature (and its cancellation)? That's easy: Simple create 
the staff context manually and remove the Key_engraver there:

mychords = \chordmode { c1:7 f }
  
myrhythm = {
  \key f \major
  \improvisationOn
  e8 f8 r8 b8 r8 b8 r8 b |
  c1
}

<<
  \new ChordNames {
    \mychords
    \transpose f c { \mychords }
  }
  
  \new Staff \with { \remove Key_engraver }
  <<
    \new Voice \with { \consists Pitch_squash_engraver } 
    \relative c'' {
      \myrhythm
      \transpose f c { \myrhythm }
    }
  >>

Of equivalently (as long as all your staves should hide the key signature and 
all voices should use the Pitch_squash_engraver):

mychords = \chordmode { c1:7 f }
  
myrhythm = {
  \key f \major
  \improvisationOn
  e8 f8 r8 b8 r8 b8 r8 b |
  c1
}

\layout {
  \context { \Staff
    \remove Key_engraver   
  }
  \context { \Voice
    \consists Pitch_squash_engraver
  }
}    

<<
  \new ChordNames {
    \mychords
    \transpose f c { \mychords }
  }
  
  \relative c'' {
    \myrhythm
    \transpose f c { \myrhythm }
  }
>>


Cheers,
