Video card swap from early to late models

I am in the process of restoring a few PowerMacs from a few that I am using for parts. Is it possible to take a video card from a 1.6GHz SP model from mid 2003, and install it in a later model with an AGP slot in order to utilize the card for its ADC port?

PowerMac, 1.6GHz SP, 2GB
