Instead of the starter bushing could an auto starter be used?

yes, but I just put on a relay recently and the starter is jam up and jelly tight. A bushing is a lot cheaper.

If there is nothing wrong with the current starter I would just replace the bushing too.

Make sure that your engine gasket kit comes with enough oil cooler seals for a dog house cooler.
If your emergency brake cables haven't been replaced I would add those too while your this far in.
Tubes that go from the body to heater boxes if you still have them and are in poor shape and a hardware kit for the heater boxes.
I've read that the front urethane mount isn't very good and can have alignment/fitment issues(don't know if there is a difference between the early and late mount fitment).
Don't forget the 12pt socket for the CV joints if you don't have it too.

I thought it might be slicker than snot!

Slicker than snot on the end of a rope?
