Completely removing sform and qform will result in a volume with
coordinates (0, 0, 0) at a corner of the FOV, this is almost certainly not
what you want.  What you probably want is the sform and qform to both be
valid, and to match, and the matrix to have zeros except on the diagonal
and last column (and last row is always 0 0 0 1), something like this:

...
qto_xyz:1      -1.000000  0.000000  0.000000  84.904289
qto_xyz:2      0.000000  1.000000  0.000000  -55.609478
qto_xyz:3      0.000000  0.000000  1.000000  -135.906647
qto_xyz:4      0.000000  0.000000  0.000000  1.000000
...
and the same exact values for the sform matrix

I don't think the exact values of the last column matter much at this
point, since I don't think you've done volume registration yet.
