or select CMYK colour and then open Window/ Swatch Libraries/ Color Books/ [select pantone of your choice] / click on the drop down menu on the colour palette and select "Show Find Field" then click in the pantone you want and ...
done et done.

That does not replace.
I have 200 docs to change, there has to be an easier way.

Maybe record a new action? And do what d_rek or e_pill said...?

1. Add your Pantone to the swatches.
2. Select something with the fill or stroke colour you want to replace.
3. Menu: Select | Same...
(Everything that matches will be selected)
4. Click or drag your swatch to change the selected fill/stroke to it.
(% should be preserved... double check that)
