No. GBC and GBA carts use a different cart edge bus protocol. You'll need to build something that translates between GBC bus protocol and GBA bus protocol, which is straightforward yet non-trivial. Is the GB Bridge really too expensive for you?

If you can't afford a GB Bridge, then play the original Game Paks instead of backups, or do GBA development instead of GBC development.
