Default 93 850 GLT Condenser

i replaced the condenser in my 93 850 GLT, it appears as though the connection for the inlet from the compressor is a right hand thread, can anyone confirm this for me. I am wondering if the hose was replaced with the wrong one at one time as I am the second owner(145K) the AC did not work previous to a deer collision, which took out the radiatior, condenser, headlights, header panel hood...etc. The condenser inlet connection will not thread on, the outlet connection threaded fine, i also noticed the hoses for sale are either 93 or 94-97 which leads me to believe my right hand thread theory is correct, i have not found supporting evidence however. I pulled the fitting off of the old cond,and it looked as though the hose fiting had stripped it completely, HELP please.

Most likely the threads came off the old condenser and are stuck in the line nut.

How do you recommend i clean them out, this makes much sense, are they right hand threads on the condenser?

Everything shound be normal right hand threads. Either you will have to find a Tap that will fit into the hose. Or find a new line.
