Hi,
In the old days (before APUs), we used the same handsignals to request engine start as CAP 367 shows. The engineers then gave us the external Air Pressure.
When we wanted them to remove the Air Start, we signalled using two pulls down on an imaginary rope hanging from the ceiling and then waved off the chocks using the standard hand signal.

I dun think there is any regarding an air start.
Although an engine start signal( rotating finger) with a thumbsdown handsignal could signify that.
If all else fails, just open the window and shout out what you want.
