Filter attached to output side of pump?

Is there any reason in particular I wouldn't want to place a filter right after an electric pump? I have a Holley 175 GPH 40 micron filter on the way and I want to attach it directly to the output side of my Mallory 140 pump.

Right now, I have a Summit branded filter between the regulator and carb, which is supposed to flow 130 GPH, but it has a disc-type filter that seems to plug up all the time and might be a restriction. I'd like to put the filter right after the pump at the back of the car, where the temps are much cooler.

Any thoughts?
