When Jmol reads a Spartan smol file, it accesses all vibrations and all
molecular orbitals (supposedly!) They should be accessible via the
right-click menu (or by clicking the "Jmol" logo").  MOs are under
"surfaces"; vibrations are under "model" (at the top).

Each vibration is another "frame" or "model", and generally one of those
models has the MOs. For some readers that is the first model, some the
second, some the last. It all depends upon the reader. With Spartan, the MOs
should be in model 1, and the vibrations should be the models after that.

Makes sure you have issued

vibration on

if you want to see the vibrations or using that menu, Vibration->ON

http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/data/C6H6.smol should be a
good example of this.

If nature does not answer first what we want,
it is better to take what answer we get.
