ive been working in this field for a while now and i also rent space from a design firm who also has a 2 color press in the back. anyways, it amazes me when new hires come through the door off college or the street and they have no idea about spot color, seperation, over printing, trapping, etc etc. its like they dont teach the students anything about real world printing. i was lucky that i had a job at a pres press business when i was in school and learned alot from it.
to answer the post, as stated above, you will need to loaad your pantone library in illustrator and replace every color to that swatch. i would suggest getting a pantone book, but they can be pricey, like over $100US. or you can visit a printer that you will be working with and they should let you use one while you figure out your colors.
