Probably about 40% of the 99s have a basic pitch/roll autopilot, but expect to still need to pay attention as they're not wholly reliable.
The 99 is a fantastic airplane to fly and you shouldn't have any issues. Most planes are basic 6 pack with a HSI and a GTN650, some have a 430 or a 750. Don't forget you can't cross gen start, and remember 200 kts is your red line.
Probably better off in the 135 forum in the AMF thread though.
