My only concern would be whether one (or a few) legs remain soldered, the vacuum may pull the IC chip and a pad will lift off the board as a result of pre-mature lifting.

I have the hand piece vacuum picker on my hot air rework station.  I've never pulled a pad off.  I'm not sure it has enough suction.  The part just doesn't stick if it's not ready to come up.

The more I thought about this, I realized maybe a way to mount either, a vacuum or a hot air pencil.

When I went to solder a new chip, I needed my hands free to keep the IC in place and couldn’t keep the hot air steady.

The spring is providing the force. Spring doesn't look too strong, but, you could design in a weaker one if needed.
