Yes... typically killed carbon steel is used. However, you will need to watch out that your lean amine system is not too lean. You want a level of H2S in there that will allow a protective layer of iron sulfide to lay out in the piping and not be removed. If the lean amine loadings are too low in H2S content, that layer can be removed and it will no longer be protected. In this case be watchful of higher velocity areas. Example: small bore piping, reducers, tees, elbows... pay attention to the flow directions and check your areas of "impingement" with Ultrasonic thickness measurements or profile radiography.
