This is a gas conversion for a new gas oven in my kitchen. Does the amp switch at the shut off box in garage need changed out too?

Answer 2

I'm going to chime in hear because this is pretty dicey stuff...  If by "amp switch" you mean breaker, then, yes, it needs to be changed unless you get a conversion outlet in the link of the other answer.  220VAC in the US is actually two 110V circuits that are out of phase and, therefore, add up to 220V.  That's why 220V breakers are twice as big as single pole 110V breakers.
