Maybe only the electronic controls from an LPG conversion kit might be possible to use in a CNG conversion, but all the other hardware is more overbuilt. Anyway, for some older cars the EPA seems to be more flexible regarding alternative fuel systems. Anyway, you could check for components from EPA-certified companies such as Landi Renzo and search for a suitable CNG tank, which is better to be DOT-certified for your own safety. I have some experience with CNG in Latin America, and I wouldn't use LPG tanks and valves for CNG or other workarounds you could often be adviced to do...
