And I don't think you'll be able to dissolve it. Anything strong enough to dissolve something old like that would probably have to be some pretty potent stuff. I know scraping will likely be back-breaking, but it's probably your only realistic option.

I know there are places, ie Lowe's, that sell stuff to dissolve that adhesive, but in my opinion it is not worth the money and time to use since you just end up scraping the stuff up anyway.
Depending on how much square footage there is I would just hand scrape it or as mentioned previously the floor sander.
Good luck.
