You can use APU bleed to supply wing antice, but there is not enough air and its not HOT enough so it wont do ant good.
Try selecting it on on the ground (On B737-300 onwards) or ground test on a -200, and watch the duct pressure drop. After about 20 secs you will see the duct pressure recover as the overtemp switches close the valves.
