Treating a 9-bit binary in a 8-bit accumulator

I am aware that during addition/subtraction in the accumulator, if a 9-bit value is resulted the carry bit is set, but what if this is used:

mov A,-200

-200 is a 9-bit value in 2's compliment form. what's going to happen if I move it to accumulator?
Is the extra bit going to drop off or go set the carry?
