I just purchased a 70,000 BTU Keeprite furnace and also got a 2ton airconditioner with a 3 ton coil. does this cause any problems?

I am wondering about a scenario of an HVAC system on a very leaky duct system and the HVAC unit does not need replacement. By tightening up the ducts, we by default oversize the existing A/C ( let's assume a cooling dominated climate). I am looking for any research on the energy consumption of this now “oversized" system? Does anyone have any experience or a source for this?
