If the copyright info in present and one its one page, it too may need editing if the individual titles have different copyright status. If it is a typical PD omnibus then each of the separated titles would have the same copyright status.
I should have noted that if there is an (x)HTML TOC it would also need significant edits. Sigil's ability to rebuild the TOC is limited to the real NCX TOC.

Here is what I would do...
i would try to find all the separate images for the covers for each book.
If the one copyright file is used for each book, edit as needed for each book by removing the stuff not needed for the book at hand.
Edit the title page as needed.
Delete any internal ToC as it's more work then it's worth and it's not worth any work.
Edit toc.ncx as it's just needed to delete the entries for the files you've deleted.
The only other thing you have to watch for is what CSS you'll need to keep as some omnibuses use multiple CSS.
Load into Sigil and delete the files you don't need, edit the ones you do need to edit, change the graphic for the cover, clean up the CSS & maybe the XML (as needed), save to a different name and done.
