PCI PC Compatibility card: will it work with a G3 desktop mac?

Hello!

I have an old 7600/120 desktop mac running OS7.5.3 with this PC Compatibility card:





ofcourse it runs OK with it and I have all the needed cable(s). But that system is too slow for my taste tbh
I recently acquired a desktop G3/266mhz system:



it is faster as expected and it currently runs OS8.0 - and it would really help with the space if I could just keep one of these systems , the best combo :)

My question is if I can transfer the PC Compatibility card in the G3 system and expect it to work fine
I am aware of the newest PcSetup 2.1.7 that adds OS 8.5~9 support so I guess I will need that just to be on the safe side but I am more worries on the hardware side.
Already checked the PSUs on the systems and they are the same Delta ones but I don't suppose the PCI slots on the 7600 system have better power-rails or something to support the compatibility card, correct?

Thanks in advance for any input/help!!!
 
I just picked up one of these with the cable. How hard is it to find all the software for it? I have an LC 6360, Powermac 7500 and desktop Beige G3, will the 12” 100 Mhz card work in all of those? Do I need a PCI riser for the LC or will it not fit anyway?
