I would guess a heat gun and puddy knife or scraper. Don't start a fire. Not an easy task. You can rent a vct tile remover from a rental shop which has a 6" razor scraper on it and it just vibrates as you push. They usually pop vinyl tile up easily but just a tar kind of glue sounds tough unless it's more brittle than soft. I hope this is on a concrete slab and not wood because you'll be able to be a little more aggressive and not have to worry about gouging the floor. Sanding is out because ounce it starts to heat up your disc or paper will be gummed up in a second. If possible just go over it with the new floor. If it smells, seal it. If it is high and low, pad it with floating floor foam underlayment.
