@Elf IMO anything is possible with ambari. That said, out of the box, maybe it would not appear to be possible without some advanced ambari admin skills. I took a look at the link you provided and that is an example of how to spin up a single machine with many of the services you may already have in your ambari cluster. To install griffin in an ambari cluster you would need to pick a node, install griffin, missing requirements (services/components not in your cluster), and thoughtfully modify the configuration to use the existing services from the ambari cluster. For example, feed griffin you configuration locations for hadoop, hdfs, hive, etc and NOT use the specific directions to install those parts based on sample documentation. If you do decide to go down this path, please update here with your progress or create new Questions with specific errors you may have.
