This
may also depend on the FSDO that the DE is under as well. For example, the Ft. Worth FSDO wants CFI single-engine add ons done in a complex airplane even though it would be legal to do it in a fixed gear airplane. They won't allow DEs under that FSDO to do them in a straight leg airplane.
To back up ToiletDuck, you can give instrument instruction in a multi-engine airplane if you do not have your MEI. You can only log time as a flight instructor and PIC only while the dual recipient is under the hood. You just have to make sure that you are current for multi-engine if you are going to log PIC. 3 takeoffs and landings in category and class for day and night as appropriate.
