Default Convert Indexed image to Spot color?

I have a client supplied PDF that was originally created in Cardiff Teleform. I need this file to print as spot color red and black. Teleform does not allow color separation and/or spot color assignment and sets up any color as RGB. I am able to convert this RGB to a spot color using Pitstop but the images placed on the file are not converting. Using Pitstop's Inspector, I see that the images (which are red and black) are indexed. When I use the "Separation Preview" in Acrobat I see that the black and red are made up of CMYK values.
Within the images, I need the variations of CMYK black to be all K and I need the variations of CMYK Red to be the same spot red that I chose when I globally converted the rest of the document. Is there a way to do this?
