Is it possible (and how) to install Ubuntu server 16.04 without LAMP and after installation running a LAMP install from Ubuntu 12.04 CD?
Maybe bringing up the package installation menu like during installation?
I have some project done in PHP5.3, but it's not working properly on version 5.6. What will be the simplest way to setup the old LAMP?

This will probably not work. 12.04 is ancient, and have different versions of essential libraries. I can't imagine that a PHP version linked against the libraries for 12.04 will run on 16.04.
As I see it, there's two ways to accomplish this:
- Install 12.04, perhaps in a VM.
- Compile PHP 5.3 from source on 16.04.
Either of these options will work. Either option is a really, really bad idea. There's a lot of security problems that are patched in later PHP releases, and you should investigate why the application is not running on PHP 5.6, and fix those issues.
