Definitely no! For TA, attempt to acquire the intruder visually, keep quiet not to block the R/T when ATCO may try to resolve a potentional conflict. Once RA is issued, disconnect the AP, and follow the command. Looking outside at this point is a waste of valuable reaction time. At least that's what the guidlines say.
