No, both houses of Congress have to vote to confirm a new VP. When Agnew resigned and Nixon was already looking vulnerable, there was talk of the House not voting to confirm Ford, so that if/when Nixon left office, a Democrat would become President and thus undo the 49-state election that the Republicans won. But the dems weren’t willing to do it then, but now?
