I would submit that it would be much more likely that the house and Senate would approve the nomination of a new VP than it would be to complete the impeachment.
An impeachment requires a 2/3rds vote of the Senate while the nomination approval only requires a simple majority in each house.
Whichever party controlled the Presidency would be unlikely to allow the impeachment of both the President and VP without a confirmed successor of their choosing.
