Cold or cool? The line coming out of the condenser shouldn't be as hot as the line going in, the whole point of the condenser is to pull heat out of the refrigerant, so the output line should absolutely be cooler than the input line.
At this point you've gone from saying that the lines going into the passenger cabin to the evaporator were both warm to saying that they're both cold. I think it's time to have a qualified A/C technician look at the system rather than continuing to guess at it. At the very least, do as I suggested and hook up a set of manifold gauges so that you can see what the high and low side pressures are. That will tell you much more than you'll find out by feeling up the A/C hoses.
