It is not possible to give a precise answer, since central air conditioning systems use condenser and evaporator units separated by variable lengths of tubing, depending on the particulars of an installation.

Most units hold 4 to 6 lb of refrigerant, depending on the cooling capacity (2 ton to 4 ton). Check the data plate on condensor it will tell you the exact ounces it holds then do the math.

Contact the manufacturer of the A/C Unit. Then you must adjust the charge up from what the nameplate says to compensate for the piping between the two components of the unit.

Can a central air conditioner hold 9 pounds of freon?

That sounds reasonable to me. I have in my home, a very large (22,000 BTU) through-the-wall air conditioner, designed to cool three large rooms. It uses 3.5 lbs of freon. A whole-house unit I can easily see using as much as 9 lbs.
