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?

When I'm faced with this I convert to gray with Pitstop and then open the image with the TouchUp Object tool into Phostoshop. Once in Photoshop I convert it to a duotone of black and spot red. Make sure the name of the spot matches the name in the PDF exactly. Adjust to your preferences for contrast etc...save back into PDF. Should be good to go.
