That would be a pretty small vacuum hose, but I guess you could and if you very through you would probably get most of the chips.
I think it is just as likely that you would miss some and then you run the risk of scratching the cylinder walls.

If it were a beater I would probably take that chance but if it were my baby, no way. Or as 4JawChuck mentions a tap with some heavy grease on it, that is a great idea.
