Red blood cells contain haemoglobin which carries oxygen around the body, which we need for energy so yes, we would die of oxygen deprivation.

It also carries iron around the body, so even if by some impossibility you could survive without oxygen, you would be severely anaemic and be too tired to do anything anyway.

None of your body (except the cornea of your eyes) would get any oxygen and you would die.
