nope, wouldn't install with those specs. The slowest machine i ever had that ran xp at acceptable speed (ie usable) was:
amd k6-2 @350Mhz
64Mb ram
8Gb Hdd

IIRC, xp wont even run period on a pentium 90 or slower. Though i could be wrong.

There is no way to install XP on a 700MB drive, let alone 16MB of ram. I dont even think any of the "Lite" packages of XP will work.

I heard a guy managed an xp install of 90MB, and it is possible to disable the minimum RAM warning, but it wouldn't be useable if it even booted properly.
 
The fastest slipstream of windows that I have seen uses 17.4mb of RAM and 200mb windows folder.
