would this allow me to run a 1.5 less qt capacity pan?

say about a 3qt pan, plus 1.5 in the accumulator making 4.5 plus 1 in the filter should be enough but are there any problems with this set up?
It would help... I'd still go for the extra effort of adding some sort of sump to ensure the oil pickup doesn't suck air..... I've used an accumulator, mostly in circle track and road race cars.... Nothing is as good as having the proper capacity in the pan..... Modifying the pan IMO is a lot cheaper and better then adding an accumulator....
