Yes, the A1016 will work. They are of similar vintage and designed to work together. If it has bluetooth.
Check "About this Mac" -> "More Info" to see if it actually has a bluetooth card installed. At the time Bluetooth was an optional extra.
Your A1026 Wifi card is for Wifi, and does not include bluetooth (not a combined Wifi/Bluetooth card)
The iMac G4 has a separate card, just for Bluetooth.
If you need one, you can search for Apple's part number for that bluetooth card -- 922-5661
Here's a listing for about US$15.

Thats fine, but can't find it locally in Ukraine. I had seen that some third party bluetooth dongles also fit. Do you know any specific models of the usb dongles which should work?
I would try to get the Apple Bluetooth card on eBay (e.g. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...pple+Bluetooth+Card+for+Power+Mac+G4&_sacat=0)
If that doesn't work for you try a Bluetooth dongle that works on the iMac G4 like D-Link DBT-120. That is also available on eBay, but possibly on a local site as well.
