Time zones in location table are OOB come from User table. IN configure choices in Location table the slush bucket is empty. 

Is it possible to use already existing time zones that are not selected in USer table to be used in Location table. I am aware that to create new time zone I can create them via dictionary. But is it possible to use existing time zones only in location table.

Hi, while the cmn_location.time_zone choice list slush bucket is empty OOB (as there are no cmn_location specific TZ's), in an OOB PDI all of the sys_user location TZ's are available for selection as location TZ's.
I would think the behaviour that you see is intentional, so that there is 1 source only for available time-zones and you do not end up with a scenario where a a TZ is available for 1 record type but not others.

One option may be to add new choice(s) to sys_user TZ and then hide them from sys_user in the  UI IE with client script, I would think any other solutions would require customization that may result in future issues.
