The drawback to fuel filters is probably their nipple size.
The wrong nipple size can really ruin your day.

The filter prevents large particles from being sucked back into the intake manifold and is available from most Corvette parts vendors for less than $10. With our C3's being anywhere from 23 to 37 years old, it is a good idea to make sure that you have this filter in your vacuum system!
