You could do it this way if you really want, but a better approach
would be to directly plot the pieces you want (rather than start with
a high-level solution and get rid of the pieces you don't want). For
example:
library(lattice)
library(grid)
x <- rnorm(100)
limits <- prepanel.default.histogram(x, breaks = NULL)
## grid.newpage() # to start a new page
pushViewport(viewport(xscale = extendrange(limits$xlim),
yscale = extendrange(limits$ylim)))
panel.histogram(x, breaks = NULL)
