Can a project adopt AngularJS as its template engine while being a non-MVC project?

I use Pure as the template engine for my current project. It is, however, rather minimal in terms of what it offers. I am in need for a template engine that allows "conditional statements". AngularJS is a candidate that I am interested in. I have been reading a lot about the MVC framework lately and it seems quite interesting. If I have the resources to spare later on, I would definitely want to try to apply AngularJS on my project. For now, I just want to use AngularJS's template engine without converting my project to MVC. Is this viable? If so, please suggest any good resources for me to learn its template language. Thanks.

You can choose to only use the template bit in angular, yes. Check the angular website for tutorials. It's quite straight forward.
