Almost correct. The 135 regulations require an SIC for passenger carrying ops. In order to operate single-pilot you have to apply for and receive the OPSPEC A015 “Autopilot in lieu of SIC”. Even if the captain was single-pilot typed, the operation requires an SIC without the specific OPSPEC.
In addition, 10 or more pax seats (which I know doesn’t apply here) OPSPEC A015 ever applies,
