Question: if Aegon is fake then what motivates Varys and Illyrio to care for Dany and Viserys? Wouldn't it be in their interest to remove the Targaryens? Or would they have added strength to Aegon's claim?

In the long term it would be in their interests to remove the Targs. In the short term they might have been useful (and disposable) when it came down to planning an invasion - gathering allies/loyalists etc under the banner of House Targ as a front for a Blackfyre scheme.

This is not a small question some believe that Illyrio wanted them both dead. Some believe that he intended to use them. Some believe that Varys and Illyrio aren't necessarily on the same page. There are multiple threads where these points are discussed endlessly.

About their original plan, theories exist. Though right now, during/at the end of aDwD, the plan is to have Aegon marry Dany. This would mean that any child coming from this marriage would be a Targaryen, no one would be able claim otherwise, even if it later is discovered that Aegon is fake. It would ensure that Aegons blood will get to keep sitting on the throne.

There was also the possibility of an invasion of dothrakis, with Dany and Viserys, so Aegon could invade and become a savior.
