How should I prep an asbestos tile floor for VCT?

I am installing VCT in a church basement over asbestos tile that is quite old, well adhered to the floor, and has been waxed a lot. Do I need to use wax remover or some type of primer before I put down the adhesive?
Also, I will need to fill some small “pot holes” or indentations that are 1.5 inches in diameter. I planned on using a grey trowelable patch for that. Does that sound alright?

IF the wax is acrylic, I would test, test, test the glue being used..make sure it does NOT interact with the floor “wax.” If no interaction, I would must patch the holes and go for it…you do not want to distrub this floor in a way that could release asbestos to the air. IF there is a reaction, then strip the “wax” with wax remover or ammonia based cleansers until the was is gone, patch and spread glue, lay new floor. Good luck
