The chip has not been an impediment to his killing Buffy all season, as we have been repeatedly reminded. Indeed, she is quite possibly the only human he could have attacked in the bathroom scene without intense pain. Thus it makes no sense that he went to get the chip out.
To become what he was could mean several things, from being a living Victorian poet to a violent vampire to being emailed. The request is just vague enough that the demon is able to interpret it, as demons do, in a way that will cause him maximum pain. It's possible to argue he didn't really know what he was asking for, though his constant awareness of Angel and the loving relationship he had with Buffy seems to me justification enough for the getting a soul argument.
