40 psi is absolutely fine. If it's going that high just cranking over on the starter motor, you're golden.

Yes, the "bypass" and "cold start" solenoids are one and the same. It's the one sticking up on top of the fuel filter console.

The car probably will not start unless you hook it (the bypass / cold start solenoid) back up. Especially if there is air in the high pressure lines to the injectors. So, reconnect the lead to the solenoid and reconnect the coil lead and start cranking. Now that you have primed the oiling system already, it will build oil pressure before it actually fires up. And, again, expect it to die repeatedly as it burns off the priming charge delivered by the bypass / cold start solenoid - it will take awhile to clear the air from the high pressure lines and fill them with gas.
