Noooo... The reason for the bushing is because the metals have to be dissimilar. If you were to let steel rub against steel (or any similar metal to another similar metal) like that it would eventually heat up and weld it's self together, but even before that could happen it would gall up the crank snout or the clutch drum pretty badly and pretty quickly, especially on a non lubricated or poorly lubricated area like this. The machine shop will be able to bore this out and install a 3/4" bronze bushing for you and then it'll be just fine..
They usually keep different sizes of bar stock and tubing in these type metals just for these purposes. Now if you can find a 1" diameter bronze bushing that's 3/4" inside diameter and close to the same length (longer is better than shorter because they can always cut it to the right size, but they can't add to one that's too short, but if you find one that's like 1/8" too short it'll still work) on ebay or on the net somewhere, they can bore out the hole and install the bushing for you which would save you some money.
