No. Tin and antimony are elements. Therefore their formulas (Tin- Sn | Antimony - Sb) are already in the simplest proportion formula wise. So that's the Empirical formula.
That's where you start and answers do you need the Empirical formula

I don't know that I buy the argument that SnSb is the empirical formula but I agree you don't need it.
