Part 61 doesn't allow it. The most recent change to 61.195 states the following
(b) Aircraft Ratings. A flight instructor may not conduct flight training in any aircraft for which the flight instructor does not hold:
(1) A pilot certificate and flight instructor certificate with the applicable category and class rating; and
(2) If appropriate, a type rating.
As such, possessing nothing but a CFII is all but worthless now. You can do ground training and simulator/FTD training. Otherwise, you will have to have at either CFI-ASE or CFI-AME on your flight instructor certificate, as well as the appropriate pilot certificate.
