This maybe a newbie question but I am in need of information have about 20 some of motors with both copper and aluminum windings.

Not worth the time to crack em open! most yards right now will give you 30 cents a lb. for motors/transformers and let me tell you it takes a lot of work to open them up. In my experience you would not make enough money to make it worth the time and effort.
