Absolutely. Angels tend to inhabit the middle areas of the tank, while plecos stick to the bottom. They can live side by side for many years.
The only time there may be conflict is when a pair of angels are spawning or already guarding a clutch of eggs. The angels will attempt to drive the pleco away from their nesting site (and rightfully so since the pleco would be more than happy to dine on caviar!) Depending upon the size of the tank and the availability of hiding places, the angels can seriously injure or even kill the pleco in this scenario, but this is true of just about any other fish trapped with a pair of breeding cichlids, a family of fish which includes the angelfish.
