You do not need to account for any Lifetime Learning Credits (LLC), you claimed. There is no limit on the number of times the LLC can be claimed. The American Opportunity Credit (AOC) dates from 2009. It's predecessor, the Hope Credit dates from 1999. Any Hope credits claimed by either you or your parents (on your education) count for the 4 time limit on claiming the AOC.
Back then, there was a line for the education credit on form 1040, with the details shown on form 8863 (same as more recent forms). No part of the Hope credit (unlike the AOC) was refundable. It could only be used to offset a tax liability.
