No you cant, a type O person as Antibodies against A and B type blood. He can only accept organs from someone with type O blood. If it was the other way around YOU being type A can accept organs from O type because A types only have Antibodies to B type blood.
And also unfortunately he would need a COMPLETE liver transplant to get well, but Hepatitis C almost always infects the newly transplanted liver, but it can also extend the persons life and can usually do very well after the surgery. Though it is a rough one.
