Any ill effect or dangers to running two fuel filters?

Simply put, My 1995 Eclipse GS, has no fuel pressure regulator. So I'm going to take one off of my parts car (97 eclipse GS) and use it to restore mine. Problem is, the fuel filters on the 95 are on the fire wall with the old FPR on the fuel rail, while the 97s FPR and fuel filter are back near the gas tank. This means alterations to the lines need to be made.

With that said, I'd rather not make alterations in the engine bay, at least if something fails by the fuel tank, I'll be at a MUCH lower risk of fire.

The engine in it is from the 97, and the old engine was not a 95 either. So no FPR on the rail where it was supposed to be, idiot mechanics thought it was just a fuel return and removed it all together back when I got the car (I'm amazed the thing has ran so well for so long without it o.o ) Live and learn I suppose.

So, That's the jist of it. I can't think of any negatives other than maybe restricted fuel flow? But that shouldn't really be a problem since they are designed to let fuel through right? o.o ... And the other obvious one, is boosted cost when it comes time to replace them, but I don't care at this point.

Not really as long as fuel can be delivered without restriction .. and you'll have cleaner fuel..

That's what I was thinking, but I want to be sure before I start diving into it. So I figured second opinions would be good

I have a pre and post filter for each of my bosch 044's. I have not had any issues running this setup.
