That won't work. For agent push you *need* the oracle credentials. Furthermore, for standard monitoring you will need the oracle credentials for host monitoring and you will definitely need the oracle credentials for scheduling backups from OEM.
If you get the oracle password, you can deploy the agent without ticking the "sudo" checkbox and then log in as root on the server and run the root.sh.

The alternative is agent pull, for RH you can build a very nice RPM, but it requires root to install botht he RPM and to run the after-install script (which actually performs the agent install).
