If you are really interested only in orbital visualization, you can just use a 
smaller basis set without h or i functions (e.g., by importing just the spdfg 
functions of that ANO-RCC basis). The h and i functions are polarization 
functions and are only really required for energetics in correlated 
calculations. They don't have noticeable contributions to orbitals, and they 
most likely no effect at all in visualization.
