You can make it take up no space using 'extra-spacing-width; see `Grob
sizing' in the Learning Manual
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Outside_002dstaff-objects#Outside_002dstaff-objects).

\layout {
  \context {
    \RemoveEmptyStaffContext
    \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
  }
  \context {
    \Score
    \consists "Text_spanner_engraver"
    \consists "Time_signature_engraver"
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
    \override TimeSignature #'style = #'()
    \override TimeSignature #'break-align-symbol = ##f
    \override TimeSignature #'X-offset =
#ly:self-alignment-interface::x-aligned-on-self
    \override TimeSignature #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER
    \override TimeSignature #'extra-spacing-width = #'(+inf.0 . -inf.0)
    \override TimeSignature #'break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible
    \override TimeSignature #'font-size = #3
    \override TimeSignature #'Y-offset = #1.5
  }
  % \context { \Voice \remove "Text_spanner_engraver" }
}
