I would point out that the 741 is almost 50 years old and not a good device by todays standards, particularly when running from supplies as low as 9V. You might find the 741 cannot provide enough base current to turn a BD135 fully on.
In the thermistor schematic, consider what might happen if the 10K variable resistor is set to minimum resistance. It could damage the thermistor and it will certainly cause some self heating. In the LDR schematic, the sensitivity to light changes is controlled by the potentiometer, is this what you really want? In most applications the sensitivity should remain high and it's the light level threshold you want to adjust. In both designs it would be more sensible to put the variable control where you have the potential divider and use a fixed resistance in series with the sensor.
The first design, if built as it is may also dissipate quite a lot of heat when the fan is running at medium speeds. The BD135 might run hot, it all depends on the fan type which you have not specified. If you can change to a PWM design it would be far more efficient.
