The key of using antechamber properly is to prepare a good input molecule
(no open valence, reasonable geometry if no connectivity table provided
...). If some atoms are missing, antechamber may not assign atom
types/bond types correctly, no matter the input is mol2 or pdb or other
format. As a matter of fact, if the input molecule is good, mol2 and prepi
all work fine.
