Just be aware that acoustic guitar soundhole magnetic pickups are designed for acoustic strings while electric guitar magnetic pickups are designed for steel strings.
This is important because with electric strings, both the cores and windings are magnetic, and get picked up by the pickup.
With acoustic strings, the bronze or 80/20 windings are not magnetic, and only the steel cores get picked up by the pickup. The wound G string in particular has a very skinny steel core.
Acoustic guitar soundhole pickups compensate for the low output of bronze wound strings. Electric guitar pickups installed on an acoustic guitar do not.
If you put an electric guitar pickup on an acoustic guitar, you’ll have to use steel electric guitar strings, and that will affect the acoustic sound of the instrument significantly.
