If I have any fold equity when he does have AJ I think pushing is good here if I can safely assume that this is NOT a set.

Nit pick, but you never have any fold equity if he has AJ here (he gets almost 3:1 odds to call with top two pair, never fold situation).
Push is fine is because your reads put A9+ in his range and excludes sets. Over long run, you're way ahead here, so happy to get money in.

Totally agree here. I think a significant majority of the time you're way ahead here (He's got Ace with worse kicker) so your decision is how do you get all his money. Will he call your push based on the previous action he's seen. Should you call his raise and then go for a check raise on the turn? Or call and lead the turn?
In summary. I don't think you should be fearing AJ and worrying about fold equity but should be thinking about how you get all his chips.
ps. another reason you have no fold equity is the same reason he called. You showed a hand previously that enticed him to call this one.
