Socket A heatskink on Socket 370

Is it possible to mount an athlon xp heatsink (socket a) on a pentium 3 (socket 370) they have similar mounting systems. Anyone know/tried?
 
They should fit just fine. Exceptions are HSinks which mount on the four holes around socket A (Alpha 8045, Swiftech).
 
Almost all Socket A HSFs that use the ZIFF socket should fit fine on Intel S370 chips, but it doesn't work the other way around. Socket A cores are a lot more sensitive to pressure than Intel ones, so S370 chips will be quite happy with the pressure from Socket A HSFs.
