most likely you do not need localized orbitals at all...
I'm afraid they will mix up coefficients of CI expansion
rather than sum up to the single leading term.

What I'd suggest is to look at CI expansion based on natural orbitals.
You can find them in the punch file - just provide them
using guess=moread and run CI or MCSCF. Note you do not
actually need to converge MCSCF from the scratch - it will  
converge in a couple of iterations as NOs are already optimized.

By the way, NOs themselves tend to be rather local in the space -
you may want to look at them using e.g. ChemCraft. To some extent,
transformation to NOs can be considered as a kind of orbital localization procedure. It also tends to make CI expansion more compact.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Alex Granovsky
