Yes, a portion of the boss on the engine case needs to be ground down a bit in order to install the under drive pulley. Full removal of the boss isn't recommended as the boss might need to be used at a later date to hold the engine at TDC for repairs.

The installation recommendation is to only remove enough of the boss to clear the UDP while still retaining enough of the boss for future use.

This thread has relevant information and discussion. Do a search on "under drive pulley" and you'll find that this subject has been well discussed.
