Can I keep the lighting of an HDRI without displaying the image of the HDRI?

I am using Dimension Theory Ruins HDRI. The lighting is awesome. My characters look real. The problem is I do not want the HDRI image of ruins. I want the lighting it produces, but not that HDRI, and if possible, a different HDRI like a sky. Is this possible?

    Environment tab of your render pane, "Draw Dome" off.

    Thanks. That solved half of it. The HDRI is gone as I wanted. Is it possible to replace that checkerboard in the sky that is now there with a sky image?

    but you might like to consider the postwork way (put in the sky in an image editor like Gimp, Krita, Affinity Photo etc.).

    This is great, thanks! I always wondered why there are two Environment tabs.
