You _can_ omit it, but why would you?
And it absolutely introduces ambiguity for those who don't happen to know where these scales are equal.

Just to add some clarification, this only works at -40.
-44F is -42.2222C.

Kelvin is only used without "degree" or °. So -40°C would be 233K.

That's clever, but you're going to confuse readers and interrupt the flow of the article if you omit a unit where people expect one.
Trivia: you can omit "Fahrenheit" after -40 without introducing ambiguity. -40 F == -40 C. (You can assume it is not K or Ra because those place their 0 points at absolute zero so -40 K or -40 Ra is not possible).
