SSGET "X" formatting
In addition to using the explicit (list) function instead of the (quote) [ ' ] function when there's something requiring evaluation in the list, in this case you don't need the (cons) function [and therefore don't even need the explicit (list) function], and you don't need the <AND> wrapping. You should be able to do just this:
(setq PLineSS (ssget "_X" '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE") (8 . "AC*"))))

Now, if [for example] the "AC" part of the beginning of Layer names was something that would vary in different usage, and was stored in a variable established by asking the User, or by picking on an object on a Layer whose name starts with the letter combination you're after and extracting that Layer name start, then you would need to do some evaluating/operations to combine that Layer-name beginning with an asterisk to catch all following Layer name content, and to "consociate" that string with an 8 to apply it for Layer names, and therefore you would need the (cons) and the explicit (list) function, like this [with LayerNameStart being the variable name]:
(setq PLineSS (ssget "_X" (list (0 . "LWPOLYLINE") (cons 8 (strcat LayerNameStart "*")))))
