MG MGA - replacing origional air filters

After 64 years I decided its time to replace my air filters. So I bought new repro filter elements from Moss and they look pretty good a origional. My question is twofold.

Will the new filters being less clogged up than the old ones, cause the engine to run " leaner " than before ?

Do the new filters require any special attention before I install them on the car?

Thank you.

Yes they need to be oiled lightly before installation. They will cause the car to run richer (more fuel with less air) so you probably need to retune the carbs
