Well, you can customize org-agenda-prefix-format and remove the "%-12:c" from each of the strings where you do not want the category to be shown.  Note that the two leading space characters in these formats are necessary IIRC, for technical reasons.

(setq org-agenda-prefix-format
      '((agenda . " %i %?-12t% s")
        (timeline . "  % s")
        (todo . " %i ")
        (tags . " %i ")
        (search . " %i "))
