This will do what you ask:

<xsl:template match="*[preceding-sibling::A]"/>

But I suspect there might be a better solution - I think it's preferable
to not select the nodes to process in the first place, rather than
select everything and use a no-op template to suppress the things you
don't want.  You would need to give a little more information for that
kind of answer.
