This is useless for a clutch to fit on, correct?

The bad news is you have a short shaft engine designed for a pulley, there is hope but your engine is not like the one I built a spacer for. Yours looks even shorter than the 3.5 briggs I got with an inch an a half shaft. I used a craftsman 1/2" deep socke as a spacer grooved for the litttle bit of keystock it will grab, it's just proud of the bushing and I have a threaded shaft so a good washer and bolt keep the clutch in place. The hub of the clutch with the key it does'nt move and it spins fine. I did have to move the engine to the right like a clone would fit but it's in a custom bike! You could run a pulley with a belt to a jackshaft with the belt drive clutch mounted on the shaft. That's how I'd do it if I had it to do over!

Most likely it's a GC 160 because the Crankcase splits sideways. A few years ago I wanted to hop one up. I found out they only make nylon camshafts and it wouldn't be worth the money to have a custom cam made.
